Field sketching
Field sketching is note taking of a landscape in pictorial form. It helps you to identify important features in a landscape and leave out things that are less important. It also allows you to observe a landscape carefully and interpret what you see. You need not worry about your ability to draw. A good field sketch should show how well you understand a landscape, rather how artistic you are.
In field sketching, a sketching frame is useful too (refer to Figure 2.10). A sketching frame helps you to position items in the landscape according to three horizontal sections:
Foreground: the part of the landscape nearest to you
Middle ground: the central part of the landscape between the foreground and background
Background: the part of the landscape furthest away from you.
The sketching frame also subdivides the landscape vertically into left, centre and right.
The nine sections divided by sketching frame helps you locate features in a photograph when giving descriptions and interpretations.

You can easily make your own sketching frame by following the steps below (refer to Figure 2.11)
1. Measure a 5-cm-thick border around A4-sized cardboard. Outline this border using a marker.
2. Cut out the inner rectangle with a penknife.
3. Stick two strings horizontally across and two strings vertically down the frame. The string divides the inner rectangle into nine equal sections.
After making your sketching frame, follow the steps below to draw a field sketch.
1. Decide on the purpose of your field sketch and note down the important details to look out for.
2. Divide an A4-sized paper into nine sections. Place the paper onto a clipboard and use the clipboard as support when you are sketching.
3. Look through the sketching frame to view the area that you wish to sketch. Draw the features or furthest away (background) first and work towards the foreground. Include only what is necessary based on the purpose of your sketch.
4. Label the features

    In 2006, the NSW Government passed the Crimes Legislation Amendment (Gangs) Act 2006, making it the first Australian jurisdiction to legislate specific offences against criminal organisations (Schloenhardt 2008). The provisions make it an offence to participate in a criminal group, defined as three or more people who have as their objectives either to obtain material benefits from serious indictable offences or to commit serious violent offences. The Act also created power for the court to make a fortification removal order, in order to deal with OMCGs' heavily fortified premises.…

    Celia was the name of a young female slave, who came to work for a prominent Missouri family called the Newsoms. Robert Newsom, a plantation owner in Callaway, Missouri, purchased her at age 14. Newsom was recently widowed and it seems he purchased Celia, looking for sex. He started raping her after being brought back to the farm. From then on, Newsom "visited" Celia often in a cabin he provided for her which was very close to the main household. Over the years, Celia had two children with Newsom, which he also considered "his property". The interesting thing about Celia’s story is that it recounts a tale of social strife and clearly indicates the fact that slaves were playing with a heavily stacked deck in relation to their Caucasian opposites.…

    Learning Objectives: Students should be able to ... • Define evolution, fitness, and adaptation using the biological definitions. • Describe the nature of the evidence regarding (1) whether species change through time and (2) whether they are related by common ancestry. • Assess whether Darwin's four postulates are true in any given example, explain to a friend why evolution must occur if all four are true, and explain whether evolution will occur if any of the four are not true. • Identify common misconceptions about evolution, and give examples to illustrate why they are not true. (For example: Is evolution progressive? Do animals do things "for the good of the species"? Does evolution result in perfection?) Lecture Outline • Evolution is one of the best-supported and most important theories in the history of science. • Evolution is one of the five attributes of life. • Evolution has both a pattern and a process. I. The Evolution of Evolutionary Thought A. Plato and typological thinking 1. Plato saw species as unchanging, perfect "types" created by God. 2. Plato thought individual variation was an unimportant deviation from the true "type." B. Aristotle and the great chain of being (scale of nature) 1. Aristotle, like Plato, thought species were unchanging types. 2. Aristotle thought species could be organized into a sequence or ladder of increasing complexity, with humans at the top. (Fig. 24.1) C. Lamarck and the idea of evolution as change through time 1. Lamarck noticed that organisms changed over time. 2. Lamarck thought animals progressed over time from "lower" to "higher" forms (like Aristotle's ladder) via inheritance of acquired characteristics. D. Darwin and Wallace and evolution by natural selection 1. Species change over time, but they do not "progress." 2. A species does not have a single true "type." 3. Individual variation is important; variation is what drives…

Diagrams, mind maps, freehand drawings, et cetera can all be useful ways of improving both your understanding and creating a much easier memory aid than simply relying on words.
